“What? Now that you’re apany president, you don’t recognize your old
friend anymore?” Gordon’s casual voice came through the phone, and
Isabe chuckled, her tense nerves rxing considerably.

“What are you talking about? I’m not that ungrateful.” While joking with him,
she grabbed her coat and left her office. “If you have time,e to Nemotors
and I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Gordon snorted. “Stingy, trying to pass me off with cafeteria food.”
“Remember the hard times. Don’t underestimate cafeteria food.” Isabe
entered the elevator, asking seriously, “Are youing? I’ll treat you to the
most expensive menu.”
Gordonughed. He was just here to see her, so it didn’t matter what he ate.
“Order the most expensive/menu, and I’ll be there soon.”
“Alright, I’ll be waiting.”

After hanging up the phone, the elevator arrived at the ground floor, and
Isabe greeted Alex once again. Alex informed her that she had organized a
lunch gathering and told her not to worry. Isabe sighed. Some people were
indeed born for the workce; Alex wasted no time fitting into the
department.
She walked into the cafeteria, which was quiterge, but not many people
were there. From time to time, people came over to greet her, and a few
middle managers wanted to join her for a meal. However, when they saw
that she had ordered quite a lot, they knew she had made ns and wisely
didn’t try to join her.
Half an hourter, Gordon walked in, dressed in sportswear and shorts, with a
badminton racket on his back, looking like he had just finished exercising.
Isabe stood up and waved, immediately attracting a lot of attention. There
were already rumors about her unusual rtionship with Seth, and now, on
her first day, she was seen meeting with Gordon, which led to whispers
among the onlookers.
Gordon sat down in front of Isabe, immediately gulping down half a ss
of water, his forehead covered in sweat. Isabe took out the tissue she

carried with her. “Need a wipe?”
Raising an eyebrow, Gordon ignored the people around, leaned his face
forward, and smirked. “You wipe it for me.”
Isabe was speechless. Without the hesitation she had when they first met,
she directly threw the tissue at his face. “Wipe it yourself!”
Gordon clicked his tongue. “You weren’t like this the first time we met.”
Isabe hummed, “How was I the first time we met? Like when you sshed
water on me?”
Gordon was speechless. “Why are you bringing up old scores?” Worried that
the topic would deviate, he quickly nced at the food on the table and

she thought for a moment and said, “Wait here; I’ll get you some fruit.”
Gordon rested his arm on the chair and nodded casually. “Okay.”

Isabe went to the food window. There weren’t many decent fruits, so she
picked a rtively fresh watermelon and, while she had time, quickly ordered
a takeaway. Not for anything else, but Gordon was a friend after all, and it
would be too disappointing to have hime all this way for a bad meal.
She brought the watermelon back, and Gordon had already finished the first.
two sses of water.
“Wait, I ordered something. It’ll be here soon.”
Gordon didn’t care. He put two pieces of watermelon in his mouth and was
pleasantly surprised. “It’s quite sweet.” As he spoke, he picked up another
piece and held it up to her mouth.
Taken aback, Isabe hesitated for a bit, and he frowned. “What’s wrong?
There’s no saliva on it!”
Isabe had no choice but to open her mouth. The chilled watermelon
entered her mouth, sweet and refreshing, and the man across from her
raised an eyebrow at her, his smile mischievous. “Sweet, isn’t it?”
Isabe’s mood improved. “Yes, it’s sweet.”

Gordon squinted his eyes, looking pleased and content, eating watermelon
and teasing her, “In just a few days, you’ve be the president of
Nemotors. Should I call you Miss President when we meet?”
Isabe’s eyes sparkled with anticipation. “Go ahead, say it, and let me hear
it.”
Rolling his eyes, he stuffed another piece of watermelon into her mouth.
“Dream on.”
Isabe chewed the cool and refreshing watermelon. “ording to the
hierarchy, I’m now on par with your father.”
Suddenly, Gordon found the watermelon in his mouth not so sweet anymore.
He had been urged by Xavier to go to thepany to learn the ropes
recently, and he had originally nned to hide for a few more years. But after
hearing what Isabe said, he felt a bit ufortable.
On the other hand, Isabe caught the change in his expression and thought
that she had said something wrong. Just as she was about to ask, her phone
suddenly rang, and it was an unfamiliar number. She made a gesture and

lowered her head to answer the call. “Hello?”
“Miss Symons, this is Jordan. Some of the information has been sent to your
email.”
In an instant, she became serious. “Okay, I got it.”
There was a pause on Jordan’s end as if he had something else to say, but
then there was no sound.
Isabe was a bit bewildered. “Jordan?”
“Sorry, it’s nothing.”
Beep, beep, beep.
Left in confusion, she nced at her phone, then looked up in thought.
Gordon took a peek at her phone. “Who was it?”
Isabe put down her phone. “It’s nothing.”
Gordon reckoned that it was probably work-rted, which he had no interest

in, and his face fell a bit when he recalled the earlier topic. Meanwhile,
Isabe thought he wasn’t feeling well from the food, which made her feel
even more guilty, so she went to the window to find something else for him.

As Gordon enjoyed her attention, his mood gradually brightened, and he
insisted on feeding her whatever he was eating. Helplessly, Isabe found it
inappropriate at first, butter, she became numb to it.
